No, the Old Testament never mentions the church age — it presents prophecy as an unbroken program moving straight through to the end.
Les Feldick teaches that the Old Testament 'knows nothing but the prophetic program moving right straight through to the end' (Clip 1) and that 'not a word is ever breathed' about the church age (Clip 3). The church age is a parenthetical period that God slipped into history after Israel rejected the Messiah, and it was not revealed in Old Testament prophecy.
Daniel 7:7 — Daniel's vision moves from the Roman Empire to the ten horns with no mention of an intervening church age.
Daniel 7:8 — The ten horns and the little horn appear immediately after the Roman beast, showing the Old Testament sequence skips the church age.
Psalm 2:2 — The Old Testament program lays out the nations raging against the LORD and His Anointed without mentioning the church age.
The Old Testament prophetic writings present a continuous sequence of events. In Daniel 7, Daniel sees the Gentile empires under the figures of a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a terrifying fourth beast, which represents the Roman Empire (Daniel 7:7). Immediately following that beast, the vision shows ten horns (Daniel 7:8). No church age appears between them. Psalm 2 presents the nations taking counsel together against the LORD and against His anointed. Neither Daniel 7 nor Psalm 2 contains any reference to a Gentile church age.
Les Feldick says the Old Testament 'never gives a hint of that intervening church age' (Clip 1). He explains that 'all prophecy was directed to the nation of Israel' and that 'no prophecy gives any indication of the Church as such' (Clip 3). He calls the church age 'a parenthetical period of time slipped in between the prophetic program' (Clip 4). Les also says the Old Testament program 'never gave the slightest hint of this 1900 and some years of what we call the Church Age' (Clip 6). He repeatedly stresses that 'the church is strictly a Pauline revelation' and that 'you can find nothing concerning the church in the Old Testament' (Clip 4). To Les, the Old Testament prophets saw the coming of the Messiah, His rejection, the tribulation, and the kingdom as one continuous picture, without seeing the parenthesized church age in between (Clip 7).
In Daniel 7, the same Gentile history that Nebuchadnezzar saw as metal is shown to Daniel as animals: a lion, a bear, a leopard, and an indescribable beast that represents the Roman Empire (Clip 0). Les says that every prophecy laid out in the Old Testament 'never gives a hint of that intervening church age' (Clip 1). The vision continues from the Roman Empire to the ten horns without any mention of the church.
Les describes the church age as 'a parenthetical period of time slipped in between the prophetic program' (Clip 4). Because all prophecy is directed to and connected with Israel (Clip 4), and because the Old Testament program had in mind God's program for Israel (Clip 5), the church age is a separate insertion. Les also says even the four Gospels do not open up this parenthetical church age (Clip 7).
Les uses the illustration of approaching mountain ranges: from a distance, the foothills and the higher range look like one range of mountains (Clip 3). In the same way, the Old Testament prophets saw the first and second advents of Christ as one continuous picture (Clip 7). They did not discern the valley—the church age—that lies between them.
Daniel 7 Vision Context
Les sets the stage by showing that Daniel sees the same Gentile empires as Nebuchadnezzar's dream, leading into the Roman Empire and the ten horns—with no church age in the sequence.
No Hint of the Church Age
Les states directly that everything in Old Testament prophecy never gives a hint of the intervening church age, and that the prophetic program moves straight through to the end.
Silent About the Age of Grace
Les says that during all the prophetic time God dealt with Israel, the church age and the age of grace are not mentioned at all—totally silent.
Prophecy Directed to Israel
Les teaches that all prophecy is directed to Israel and no prophecy gives any indication of the Church, comparing the prophets' view to mountains that appear as one range.
Parenthetical and Pauline
Les calls the church age a parenthetical period slipped in between the prophetic program, and explains it is a Pauline revelation with nothing about the church in the Old Testament.
Old Testament Program Was for Israel
Les clarifies that the Old Testament program was God's program for Israel, and there is no hint of the church age in it.
No Hint of the Church Age in Psalms
Les points to the Old Testament program laid out in Psalm 2—Israel, Messiah's rejection, tribulation, and kingdom—and says it never gives the slightest hint of the church age.
Two Advents Seen as One
Les explains that Old Testament prophets saw the two advents as one continuous range of mountains, and the church age was later opened up as a parenthetical period unknown to them.
Daniel 7:7: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
This verse places the Roman Empire immediately before the ten horns, with no church age mentioned.
Daniel 7:8: I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
The vision continues from the Roman beast to the little horn, continuing the Old Testament sequence without the church age.
Psalm 2:2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psalm 2 presents the opposition to God's Anointed, and this prophetic program has no mention of the church age.
The Old Testament prophetic program is presented as moving straight through to the end, with no hint of an intervening church age. Les Feldick says the Old Testament never gives a hint of the church age and that all prophecy is connected with Israel.
No. Les Feldick says 'not a word' is breathed about the church age in the Old Testament, and that it is a parenthetical period that was later revealed through the Apostle Paul.
Les compares their view to distant mountain ranges that look like one continuous range. They saw the first and second advents as one program, and the church age is the hidden valley they did not see.
